Flash - UN top brass have begun to realize that the American public is
growing tired of the non-stop scandals oozing like putrid swamp-fill from
the world body. Appearing on Fox News Sunday this past weekend, UN chief
of staff Mark Malloch Brown was forced to admit, "In a very real
way, we seem to have lost touch with the great middle in America."

But Mr.
Brown is actually quite fortunate.

Because
if Middle Americans knew how radical feminists are working tirelessly
behind the scenes to spread their socialistic views of gender equality,
he would be facing a public relations problem of tsunamic proportions.

The Gender
Warriors now operate with impunity from three base camps within the UN
bureaucracy:

1. Commission
on the Status of Women - This committee orchestrated the 1995 Beijing
Declaration and Platform for Action. The CSW organized the 10-year progress
review of Beijing that concluded this past Friday in New York City.

2. Convention
on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW)
- Originally adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1979, this Trojan Horse
treaty now has 179 signatory nations.

Gender
feminists are now working to expand their agenda to encompass the full
range of specialized UN agencies. For an eye-opening look at the bullying
tactics they use, pick up a copy of Dale O'Leary's book, The Gender Agenda.

This is
just a partial list of the UN organizations that now specialize in gender
issues:

-- UN
Population Fund: Aims to control population growth through the shameless
huckstering of abortion services and forced sterilizations on women and
teenage girls.

-- UNAIDS:
Shows what happens when Leftist ideology is substituted for sound science
in the fight to stop AIDS.

-- World
Health Organization: Thanks to former feminist director Gro Harlem Brundtland,
gives top billing to women's health, even though men
suffer from shorter lifespans.

Still,
the Sisterhood seeks to maximize its body count. Watch for these upcoming
search-and-destroy missions in the coming months:

First
the femmes want to gender mainstream the rest of the UN. In case you hadn't
heard, gender mainstreaming is "the process of assessing the implications
for women and men of any planned action, including legislation, policies,
or programs, in all areas and at all levels." Note the all-encompassing
phrases, "any planned action" and "in all areas and at
all levels."

Second,
in order to focus its efforts, the UN has established what it calls Millenium
Development Goals. Out of the eight Goals, two are specific to women:
-- Promote gender equality and empower women -- Improve maternal health
Now the feminists want to "mainstream" the gender perspective
to the six remaining Development Goals. That may happen as early as this
coming September at the MDG Summit.

Third,
the rad-fems have designs on the International Criminal Court. The ICC
now claims jurisdiction over a long list of so-called "crimes against
humanity," including forced pregnancy and sexual violence.

"Forced
pregnancy" is fem-speak for not providing free abortion services,
and no one has yet to define "sexual violence." But once they
fortify their power base, the Women's
Initiatives for Gender Justice no doubt will tell us what they have
in mind.

In the
past, totalitarianism was enforced by the GULAG, goon squads, and economic
reprisals. That was "hard" totalitarianism.

Now we
face a new threat, what Italian politician Rocco Buttiglione likes to
call "soft totalitarianism." Buttiglione sees this trend unfolding
at the European Union, which regulates the smallest details of life down
to the permissible curve of bananas.

Soft totalitarianism
has a kinder, gentler face. It pretends to advance the cause of equality.
It claims to be working for a gender utopia.

But in
practice,
soft totalitarianism relies on government-sponsored bribery (known
as the welfare state), top-down imposition of laws, rampant distortions
of fact, and mass re-education.

The end
result of both forms of totalitarianism is exactly the same - concentration
of power in the government, economic stagnation, undermining of the family,
and curtailment of individual liberties.
